What pen/ brush do you use for INKING?

Which pen/ brush do you use for INKING, & why you choose to use it?

I use the G Pen from Clip Studio Paint because it give a neat line for colour filling.

Currently, I'm using these pens interchangeably:

Rubin 01 Natural - by Dropthedrawings - CLIP STUDIO ASSETS

Rubin 02 Bold&Thick - by Dropthedrawings - CLIP STUDIO ASSETS

HiBipencil - CLIP STUDIO ASSETS

Adds some nice texture to my line-art, and it does well with my hatching and loose style:

I customised the “running edge watercolour” brush on clip studio and i use it for pretty much all my lineart

With Clip I'm still feeling out what pens I like best, on the hunt for more pens. Haven't found my pen yet. Unfortunately, while I can bring in pens from Photoshop over, they just don't behave the same.

On Photoshop I like the Kyle Webster "Mr Natural Brush."

[R.n.P]

i use brush 120 from the touch twin copic marker for inking artworks for parts needing black\
for line art inking i use 0.8mm OHP marker

[noenoh]

@rajillustration same i have tried a few I barely remember cause I don't feel comfortable with any result. Not the software fault but mine. I'm too messy with linear.
Rn I'm working on Sai using the default marker brush for the lineart

I use Clip Studio Paint's mapping pen for inking. I haven't really tried out too many others though. Maybe I ought to play around with them sometime.

I've just started using a custom one I made on Procreate, which I've called SmoothiePen. I usually use a brush with a bit of texture and opacity to it for inking, but it makes flatting a comic page time-consuming and tedious. This new one works with the fill tool, so it saves me a lot of time. It's also a bit cleaner, which helps with clarity. (And eventually, printing.)

[Darth_Biomech]

Default round Photoshop brush. I mean... it's lineart, right?

[Utamee]

@Comic.Kikikora same with you. I just use default g-pen. Pretty much for everything, line art, color, shading. Lol don't know if way I'm doing it correct, I'm self-taught proclaimed artist. p

[BarBarKetrab]

I use Krita's ink brush for inking line art.
I prefer thicker, more cartoony lines in comics.

[Kelheor]

1 is my usual line brush, Houston Sharp hard round 4px. Found it ages ago, maybe there's something better, but I'm not searching xD
2 with the nice rough look it's 样本画笔 (dunno who's brushpack it is)
3 is my beloved sketch marker or when I'm okay with messy soft line, Loish hard round

[Maru-n]

tbh I only use the Real G-pen tool with a 1.50 brush size for my digital works
I also sometimes tweak with the stabilization whenever needed~

[VibrantFox]

Medibang user but SEVERAL because i can never really stick to one (variety keeps my brain interested and invested)

this is an old set of brushes i used a ton

and this is the updated list

some of em are defaults to medibang, others are cloud brushes and then a small handful were either exported (manually by me) to medibang from firealpaca or downloaded from brush sites/tumblr. i've got like handmade brushes i've frankenstined together as well but those are more for details and effects than lining but it's always fun screwing around to see what comes out at the end

I use the ‘reed brush’ on Procreate for my comic atm because I wanted one that would be kinda a scruffy, with a bit of texture, and that can do really thick and really thin lines.
I also use it to colour because I only do flats and I don’t wanna have to think about changing brushes all the time.

[gmaximin]

I’m just gonna play dumb on this one... sticking with the title... so yeah, that’s my old classic tools... btw, when she was younger, my daughter did try them on my laptop... ... ... didn’t work!
So the basic “Daily” Tech-point or Mitsubishi ink gel 0.8:

For nice curves and a “silky” mood, the Zebra ink brush, medium size:

Then the boring whatever-is-under-my-hand-on-my-desk black ball pen for noisy feel:

And the always useful thick double tip marker... I always keep a bunch of those, because the older they get, the more texture you can get out of them...

It’s a bit underdeveloped, but works for me...

[Llyrel]

Oooh, this is a fun thread!

...Although, truth to be told, I'm not very creative when it comes to digital inking :'D I usually stick with whatever default tools the programs I'm using come with, and maybe adjust a few settings here and there.
So I've got:

Clip Studio Paint textured pen. Maximum stabilization (because I simply can NOT do digital lineart without stabilization ò__ò) + angle set on 45%. I started to use this for my Arcana fanarts and I actually love the sketchy feeling of it _ I was really tempted to use it for my own comic when I switched to digital art, but alas, had to give up because smoother lines were easier to color with flood-fill ._.

Clip Studio Paint G-Pen, also set on max stabilization. Another one of my go-to pens for inking pretty sure the beard was done with one of the watercolor brushes, though.

Procreate technical pen, aka the one I use for my comic I find it pretty similar to CSP's G-Pen, so of course I love it

Also, for traditional inking:

Staedler pigment liner, with tips ranging from 0.05 to 0.5, depending on what I need. Not... my favorite tool to work with, as it's got a round tip that lets you do basically zero line variation, but it's cheap, it dries fast and works better than any other fineliner I've tried to far, so there's that, I guess XD

Pentel fude pen. Best brush pen ever, 10/10, would totally recommend. I absolutely LOVE working with this thing. It's so pretty and fun and it's great to get a whole bunch of different effects. The only reason why I don't use it for my own comic is that it can be a little unpredictable at times and I prefer to have full control over my lineart when working on panels, but for drawings and illustrations it's my absolute favorite

Hello!! I thought I recognized your curly hair brush, thank you for making it. It's helped me so much in my art process.

For my lineart I use another "hair" brush to save time, and this super skinny pen that I like for some reason.

Wavy/Curly Hair Brush - CLIP STUDIO ASSETS

Hair Pen - CLIP STUDIO ASSETS

Smooth Line Drawing pen - CLIP STUDIO ASSETS

Ohmigosh, I'm so happy it's worked out for you! I'm currently developing some more hair brushes, so be on the look out for those! Actually been using a few of them in my inking process as well! Makes for great details, especially when it comes to coarse hair, and I've found I've been able to add more details without manually drawing each detail XD

[Tromroan]

Haha, I guess I'm old fashioned, I use a very very thin real life paintbrush...
